repeated ob jections to remarks of the prosecutor day shouted a protest against erbstein's mak ing a speech every time he offered an objec tion judge brentano admonished erbstein that he must not attempt to address the jury by this means as the court bad ruled that he had no right to make an argument assistant state's attorney day spoke from the time court convened until 3 o'clock judge

morton as he would a pawn or at least rendering him a negative quantity perkins is a trained insurance man not a banker he was in the insur ance business all his life until he be came a partner of morgan chairmanship for morton it would not do however for him to become the chief officer of the equitable while still a member of the house of morgan nor would it be politic to place him in the presi dency of the insurance company too quickly after his departure from the banking house nevertheless he is the chosen man and the doom of paul morton in the equitable has been sealed by morgan however it is not the plan to cast morton overboard entirely his feel ings are to be considered to the ex tent of offering him the chairman ship of the board of trustees which he may accept or reject

ryan pah e equitable formerly under the con il morton now president of the equi table was placed there by ryan it is now certain that morgan is play ing a game of chess with the object of removing morton as he would a pawn or at least rendering him a negative quantity perkins is a trained insurance man not a banker he was in the insur ance business all his life until he be came a partner of morgan chairmanship for morton it would not do however for him to become the chief officer of the equitable while still a member of the house of morgan nor would it be politic to place him in the presi dency of the insurance company too quickly after his departure from the banking house nevertheless he is the chosen man and the doom of paul morton in the equitable has been sealed by morgan however it is not the plan to cast morton overboard entirely his feel ings are to be considered to the ex tent of offering him the chairman ship of the board of trustees which he may accept or reject as he sees fit and wall street knows why mor gan wants not only to hold sway over the equitable but to exercise that sway to its utmost possibility market seen for morgan bond j p morgan & co have
